Sid and Nancy: 5 years, mini foxies
Sid and Nancy are a loving five year olds looking for a place to call home. They are a bonded pair of mini foxies who have grown up together and must be adopted and stay together.
An ideal home would be with an older couple or a family with older children. Sid and Nancy love attention and aren't too keen on being left alone for long periods.
While Sid is the quiet type and Nancy is a little more lively, they both love to join in with their human's day-to-day activities. Whether it be out and about or sitting in the garden enjoying the sun. In the evening they will be your constant companions curled up on your knee enjoying your company. Sid and Nancy must be allowed to sleep inside and have access to inside through day.
Are you ready for an instant family and invite this loving couple into your home?

Pudding: 6 months, border collie X Staffy
Here's the story of Pudding, a six month old, Border-collie-cross-Staffy.
A few short months ago a litter of puppies were born into foster care. All but one little cutie were considered "normal". One little guy couldn't walk as well as his siblings. After a CT scan it was found that a bacterial infection had invaded a small space in his spine . As a result this area has now fused together and the bacterial infection has gone.
As Pudding has grown his movements have improved tenfold. He loves to run and rumble with his doggy foster sister and hump his dinosaur teddy till his little heart is content. Pudding will need a home with lots of love (with someone at home) or with a gentle doggy playmate.
In every other way, this little dude is a normal happy puppy.
As with all young puppies and senior dogs, Pudding will have his own special requirements for a happy little life. He must sleep inside, he is crate trained and will use a pee mat.
Pudding is the sweetest, gentle boy who will sit on command and snuggle for a cuddle. He will plod along behind you, where ever you go. He is also very content to sit and watch you work. We don't think he would be suitable for a home with a cat as he tends to chase them.
